  1875 atlas of Vermilion County shows (from what I can tell) about 1,489 acres of land owned by heirs of Edward Rowand, all but 240 acres lying in Sidell Township, with the 240 acre portion lying in Carroll Township. This 240 acre area must be where Margaret and the children are in the 1870 and 1880 census; the older boys, Edward, John, and Isaac all having moved to farms on family land in Sidell Township by 1880. The 1875 maps shows two dwellings on the Rowand land in Carroll Township (located in Section 27) which is just east of Sidell, IL. Of the two dwellings on that map, one appears to be still standing located at about 39.90802, -87.80913.
